Quiet desperation ain't my g****** scene.
I don't know if you can follow me,
but you bought a ticket so i guess we're gonna see.
My friends!
To the wine and to the stage!
If you squander your precious beautiful days,
that makes you a sucker.
You don't want to be a sucker do you?
To the quitters and the complainers,
if we never meet again
remember when --
all the world was a stage dive,
all the world loved a clown,
knowing how the clown hated them
and all the clowns in the house
stared up at the stage.
They used to get so mad.
The had such a good thing that day
but at the last minute it just sort of went bad.
They lost their nerve,
They just went straight.
They didn't have the b**** to hold it down and
they brought everybody else right down with them
While clowns must stand.
So welcome.
Welcome to the scene!
You've all got to come out and have a drink with me. I'll buy round one,
you buy round two,
you buy round three.
We'll make a toast to absent friends
and better days,
to remembering and being remembered as brave
and not as a bunch of whining jerks.
To the quitters and the complainers,
if we never meet again remember this --
All the world is a stage dive
All the world loves a clown.
You know that clowns hate them and
how hard it is to get a clown out of the house
and up on the stage.
But tonight you've come, you're here, I'm so glad.
Don't forget how it feels kids and don't c*** out.
Don't lose your nerve.
Do not go straight.
You must testify or
I'm going to come to your house to
punch you in the mouth
'cause clowns must stand.
When a clown goes straight all clowns are hurt. When a clown abandons his passion
all his friends end up with egg on the face.
Clowns must stand.
What did I say? Clowns must stand.
I don't know if you can follow me,
but you bought a ticket so i guess we're gonna see.
